Thanks mjgodin. It's the level and attention to detail that I love. People should also understand that it's not much cheaper to build your own. I could have bought a VERY NICE guitar for what I spent building the first one - wood, hardware, guitar-specific tools, jigs. I had a job change and move a couple of years ago and sold all my tools to another luthier (kept my cabinet table saw and jigs). I don't know when I'll build again but I will. When COVID hit, I started building an amp - a Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb. Again, I could have bought a nice amp for what I've spent - tools and all... "I can't not make stuff"! There's something wrong with me!! Building for me is not about getting something cheaper. It's about doing it myself and, hopefully, getting something BETTER. Cheers.
